The Shorthorn cows have been busy popping out calves so I've been busy on the farm. Lambing is about to start, which is usually quite chaotic!
Did you know that ConTact C.A.R.E can be used to help newborn calves as well as their mums?
Calves that might be a bit slow to feed, cows that are a bit sore after calving, lambs, goats, you name it!

I had a drum horse session yesterday, thanks to Pepe Ewen Equine Management and ConTact CARE my horses will be much happier!
I had flinchlocks in my right shoulder, tailbone and the ball of my left foot, which were contributing to the shape you see on the view from the back (left side is before, right side is after) where the shoulders are uneven, by the wrinkles on my jersey I can see that I had a lot more weight on my tailbone in the before shot and all that weight in my left foot will have been an obstacle for my horses. Quite literally a pain in the back! For them and for me.
So happy to have had this done just before the start of calving so my horses have an easier job of carrying me around. This will help prevent any soreness and keep them sound over the busy season. Less little niggles, more free movement, more fun for all of us.
Also thanks Pepe for the photos!

Had the heifers home for their pre calving treatments yesterday.
✅️ fluke drench
✅️ 5 in 1
✅️ ConTact C.A.R.E
✅️ lice pour on

Nice to have those pelvises unlocked and freed up before calving so the body can work as it should.

Wow, I had such a fantastic week away with some really wonderful sessions and results! It was a bit COLD 🥶
Of course I forgot to get any photos while I was working so I'm hoping some of my lovely clients will send some through 🤞🤞
Today I got to catch up with my own dogs, shift my ewes and feed out some hay to the little heifers.

I attended a western saddle fitting clinic yesterday with saddle maker Lisa Earley. Very informative and interesting to see the saddle trees on the horses and then the saddles with the same trees on the horses as well.

Never stop learning.

I had a lovely afternoon spending time time with my own horses today. The girls all got a ConTact C.A.R.E session, a brush and raincoats on.
They'll be coming in to work in a few weeks for calving and lambing so its great to give them a session now so they can integrate any changes before the hard work starts.

TACK SESSION

Had a tack session with this handsome fellow. Recently acquired, Score was pulling some terrible faces when approached with the saddle. Lucky for him, his lovely new owners listened to him expressing that he wasn't happy and asked me to come and see if I could help. It was accepted that he was going through a big change in environment, however they felt there was more going on.
We worked through some flinchlocks that were activating when the tack went on, bridle and saddle both. He was also expressing signs of a tummy upset and when we released his pelvis where he had received a kick from his new paddock mate, we got some good gut sounds after that. This also resolved the guarding behaviours that he was showing on that side.
I'm happy to report that a few days later the angry faces are gone. Great result! It is such a privilege to be able to help.

Everyone loves a good before and after pic and I am the absolute WORST for remembering to take photos so love it when someone sends one in to me!
CLIFF is a border collie who works on a sheep and beef farm. He looked like he was wearing his woolly pants! Those woolly pants were partly a rusty brown colour amongst the black and were prone to matting. He was also having some constipation issues 🥴
He had a ConTact CARE session and LOOK! After only a week his woolly pants are looking so much better!
